Christmas pageant
Holiday church performance
A Christmas pageant is a theatrical performance depicting the nativity story, typically staged by churches or schools during the holiday season.
Children often play Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, and wise men, sometimes with live animals.
The productions range from simple tableaux to elaborate musicals: My daughter is playing an angel in the Christmas pageant this year.
